MiFi 2352 is a wireless broadband device that enables high-speed Internet connectivity that can be easily shared between multiple users and Wi-Fi devices such as laptops, cameras, gaming devices and multimedia players. The MiFi product line makes it possible for large and small enterprises and home office workers to secure, control and manage wireless connections. With a robust platform capable of hosting third-party applications, such as the Bell Labs-developed Nonstop Laptop Guardian, MiFi extends the reach and control of the enterprise when dealing with remote mobile communications devices.

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess 3500 NLG consists of a secure, always-on computing system that helps enterprises overcome the mobile blindspot -- where enterprises have no visibility or control over the location, use or configuration of employee laptops. With this technology, enterprises have 24/7 access to employee laptops - enabling them to protect the data and manage the laptop even if the laptop is turned off.

"Integrating the security capabilities of the Nonstop Laptop Guardian with Novatel's MiFi 2352 intelligent mobile hotspot produces a revolutionary, secure mobile computing solution for the mobile workforce," said Peter Leparulo, Chairman and CEO of Novatel Wireless. "The combination of Alcatel-Lucent's strong relationships with carriers and channels on the solutions side, together with Novatel's proven track record with carriers delivering innovative solutions for wireless data, will create a force multiplier in the market." The new offer will be sold through carriers, service providers and through Alcatel-Lucent business partners globally.

The Nonstop Laptop Guardian solution includes remote troubleshooting, management, protection and data "remote kill" functionalities that effectively eliminate all data from a lost or stolen laptop and therefore protect corporate information. It also enables IT to remotely patch employee laptops anytime, anywhere for fast response to security threats. Through interoperable encryption solutions, the Nonstop Laptop Guardian renders the laptop's data readable only through the use of an encryption key located on the Mifi, which can be disabled or re-enabled over the air by the corporate IT manager for patch management, remote back-ups, end-policy enforcement and control, and whole disk encryption solutions.

"Partnering with Novatel and leveraging the unique MiFi platform meets Alcatel-Lucent's vision to provide an open environment of applications- enabled solutions, introducing a 24/7, intelligent mobile hotspot solution to customers, demonstrating the core competency of the Nonstop Laptop Guardian: first rate security software solutions," said Dor Skuler, general manager of enterprise security solutions at Alcatel-Lucent. "With Novatel, we are providing a product and go-to-market approach that changes the way the mobile workforce operates, giving businesses the advantage of always on protection and management for laptops."
